  1. ZFan1: Johns Cars shorty headers RebekahsZ: The shafts are made out of Chromoly. There are some small grooves towards the end of the shaft (in the splined part) for the snap ring to sit in. It snapped clean where the groove was machined in. It is a great kit, but won't hold a nitrous launch. But has held multiple 1.45-1.52 60 foot times. My nitrous kit is a $400 kit from Nitrous Outlet. I manually press the button when I want to spray, very simple kit.
  2. I have broken 2 Chromoly CV axles. I was basically trying to find out what the limits were so I could back off a bit from there. DO NOT try to spray out of the hole, I've found out that about 1 car length out is fine. I have some 2.5" bullet mufflers welded to the down pipes off the shorty headers, I use the same computer tune for both on and off the spray. Thanks for the compliments everyone.
  3. Hello again all, Sorry for being MIA. Work/School/Projects have me going non-stop. Ill try to answer all the questions. RWHP: I have never dynoed it but I am guessing around 380ish rwhp N/A and whatever a 100shot nozzle will add on top. Keep in mind it's going through a stalled auto and the small JCI short headers. My tuner just bench tuned my ecm for the 100 and it seems to work fine. No secrets here, I always pop the hood at carshows and willing to talk to anyone about the build. The bottom-end is still bone stock as well as the original un-ported 241 heads. Of course I have upgraded the valvetrain to accomodate the bigger cam. On another note, Does anyone have experience with this kit? https://technotoytuning.com/nissan/280z/complete-r200-r230-rear-end-conversion-z-car If I plan on going any faster, this will have to be the next upgrade. My Chromoly CVs are nice but as one of the previous posters said, the Stub axles are the next to go.
  4. Yup! I'm using the Johns Cars motor mounts, headers and driveshaft. I gave him the length he needed for the TH-350 and he had one sent out to me within a couple of days. I too have put this his parts through some abuse and they continue to hold up. What kind of times are you running with your set-up?
  5. Just sent you a PM but left-out what the car did before spraying it. She ran 10.8 @ 122mph all motor, 1.52-60ft.
  6. Zero: Yea I was really expecting it to be closer to a 10.30 car on the spray but it's 60 footing alot quicker than my original calculations. And I think the 100 shot on these cars is equivilent to a 150 shot on an average weight car like an F-Body. RebekahsZ: I don't mind the brain picking, go ahead and shoot the PMs. I did alot of picking when building this one.
  7. They are 295/45-17 E.T Street Radials. Measures out to a 28x11.50-17.
  8. Hello all, I've been gone for a while but finally back with some new pics and track times. Pretty much built the whole car based on info I got from this forum and couldnt be any happier with the performance to mod ratio. Mods: 2002 LS1. Cam-only. Stock bottom end, stock heads. 100-shot (nozzle). The rear-end is still the stock open diff, with the exception of an upgraded CV axle kit. Although I did do a 1.46 60ft on the stock u-joint half shafts, I felt the CV's would be more reliable. Time slip: 60ft: 1.453 1/8 mi: 6.326 @ 110.02mph 1/4 mi: 9.944 @ 134.63mph Hit the N20 about 20ft out, 4th pass of the day so next time i'll increase the bottle pressure and hope to not break an axle . How I got the car a few years ago Recent Pic Video of pass, starts at the :50 mark: Any comments questions and concerns are welcome. Thanks!
  9. Thank you. Yes there should'nt be a problem with getting your Z to run with your Z06. Easier if it's a C5, a little bit harder if it's a C6Z06 . You're more than welcome to stop by my place and check things out, my car is still somewhat bare so all of the work is exposed for you to see. We are also working on a 87 RX7 LS1/T56 swap as well that you can check out. I will be there all day this Saturday and possibly Sunday if you'd like to come by and check things out. I will PM you my info.
  10. Unfortunately I have not gotten that far yet. Last Saturday was the first time shes cranked since I started building . May try the fiberglass wrap trick though. Thank you sir. Its just a 2002 LS1 (LS6 intake) with a stout cam and ported throttle body. The motor ran 11.60's in a 89 RX7 with a 6spd (previous home). I figure a stalled auto and a few hundred pounds lighter should put me in the low 11's or so.
  11. I appreciate the compliments fellas. I have to say this forum has been 100% of my inspiration! Lots of good info and lots of badass Z cars. It's actually a Jegs 8-pt kit with a couple of small changes. I'd say a hell of a deal for the money.
  12. The cam is a 238/240 605/609 on a 112 lsa Dudeboy, You are correct. I had these Nittos next to some Goodyear Eagle F1s, the F1's were at least 1.5" wider. Definitely would have to downsize if I went with any other brand tire.
  13. Yes they are 17x9.5 Rota RB-R's in the rear. IMO the 315 Nitto looks like it belongs on there, no crazy bulge. It is going to be a street/strip car. The motor made 410rwhp through the previous 6-spd. I also plan on adding a 100 shot. With the current auto/4k stall converter and some traction she should be good for low 11's on motor and possibly mid 10's on the spray. So close to being done, yet so far!
  14. Yes sir straight headers for now. We dont have much room underneath due to the custome tubular tranny crossmember, so we are going to have 2 bullet mufflers coming straight off of the collectors with a dump. Iron Man: Thanks for the compliment. She still has along way to go looks wise. I wanted to keep the outside looking as "Japanese" as possible. But the paint color is a Pearl/Metallic Lamborghini blue..Not positive on the paint code though. I'm running a 315/35-17 Nitto DR outback. Thanks again!
  15. Thank you sir! Yes, those are the carbon fiber "Super Wide" flares a forum member here used to offer.
